really just a perfect place - the accomodations were perfectly clean with crisp sheets. There was a washer and drier in unit so that I could do laundry and the apartment was a perfect size for 1 or 2 people. The location was IDEAL - just 1k away from Kings Park and across the Street from Rosalie Park - it was perfect! Would highly recommend!

Dear Mr Vasudavan,
We thank you for your compliments and it is our privilege to stay in your apartment while in Perth.
Everything is perfect and we are grateful of your thoughtfulness, stocking up all necessities what we would need & more than we can find in our home. We thank you for the miles you went to keep track of our arrival, coming to our apartment to say hello though we were late, the bar of delicious chocolate for my son Panos, a bottle of delicious red wine for the adults, fruits, eggs, milk & much more than what we would ask for all. Our stay in Perth was awesome and we are planning to come back to Perth soon with our families to stay with you. I would definitely recommend friends visiting Perth especially with families to book your apartment via Homeaway.
God bless.
Best Regards.
